My Opinion

This was a good book. I thought it was a good book because it seemed like book that had a predictable plot instead there was a plot twist that made the book better by adding another sub-plot instead of just focusing on that one thing that it focused on the entire story. The plot didn't seem so stereotypical and unrealistic and gave it a reality that some of Nicholas Sparks books don't have. That is why I like The Last Song.

Theme

The theme of the story is that you have to open up and give everyone a chance. Ronnie did this for Will and fell in love with him. She also did this for her dad and cared for him when he was dying and finished a song with him. She had finally forgiven him and loved him when he died. That is the theme of The Last Song.

Conflict

The conflict of the Last Song was that Ronnie didn't want to stay with her father for the summer. She didn't want to talk and get along with her father because she thought that her father was cheating on her mother. She screamed at him about never wanting to play the piano again. This made it harder for him to get closer to her when he was dying. She caused alot of tension in between them by never talking to him that is the conflict of The Last Song.

Characters and Character Traits

These are some of the characters in the Last Song and their character traits.


Ronnie is rebellious she shows this on page 9 when she snaps her gum she does this because she knows that her mom hates it when she does it so she does it just to annoy her mom who always cringes when she hears her do it.


Will is considerate he shows this on page 34 when he smacks Ronnie's soda out of her hand and spills it over her he asks her if she's okay and offers to help her clean up while she rejects it really angry with him.


Blaze is a pushover she shows this on page 87 by letting Marcus eat all her food just because he was her boyfriend when before she told Ronnie that she was really hungry.


Marcus is a flirt he shows this on page 104 he shows this by putting his arm around Ronnie's waist and asking her if she wanted to go to walk on the beach even though Ronnie tells him that Blaze is his girlfriend he doesn't care.

Title and Setting

The book I read for this is The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks.


The setting of the book takes place in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina during the present. It is a small beach town very close the the sea the main character's dad lives and where the main character and her younger brother come to stay for the summer. Ronnie's dad is currently living in a house that the church owns and in the back shed he is building a glass window for the church because it was burned in a fire.Ronnie's grandparents lived there before and that is why her dad moved there. During the beginning of the book a small fair is going on. Also toward the end of the book a turtle's nest is close to Ronnie's house and the church is finally finished with Ronnie's father's window installed. That is the setting and title of The Last Song
